hotnspicychikn Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Dave, How did you know this was just what I needed to read today? Amazing, Heartfelt and inspirational! Thank You for this! Link to comment
adyghost Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thank you so much for your post... I'm in quite possibly the lowest point in my life. Not only have I lost my love and my health, but I came to realize the mess my life is in right now after forming a series of bad habits for the past 10 years. If this isn't a wake-up call, I don't know what is. This is more than just getting my love back or being healthy, it's about getting my life back! I felt much calmer after reading your post about the choices I'm about to make in order to get my life back on track. Thank you. Link to comment
Tearsbegone Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 "what brings them back is love" I would agree with this, but what if they broke up with you because they were out of love and unwilling to recognize the past love you shared? Thank you for the amazing post. Link to comment

SuperDave71 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thank you all. You can't change other's...they have to change because they want to change and even if they do....it might not be on your time table. We all have boundaries. To give up on us in order to be loved by someone else is silly. To desperately want (need) love from another means we forgot what it was like to love ourselves FIRST.

cintasatu Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thank you for that SuperDave. Not only was it inspirational, it was also compassionate. For the last three years I believed that what I had with my ex was true love. I believed in us more than I had believed in anything else. When she left me last December and started dating someone 2 months later I doubted whether I had been played for the last three years. I gave this girl everything, but she was able to forget so easily. In my post break up depression and bitterness I had convinced myself that I will never trust anyone as much as I had trusted her. I believed that if someone who loved me so dearly could do this to me, then there is nothing but pain at the end of every tunnel. After reading what you wrote I am able to put my bitterness and anger behind me and return to who I really am - a person who believes in true and pure love. I believe what I had with her was true and pure love and I believe that no one can love her like I do. But I have let her go. Maybe she will return, maybe she won't. The fact that a stranger whom I have never met or know nothing about can offer such inspiring and comforting words is simply amazing. Thank you again SuperDave. “Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.” Link to comment

Enn Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Oh SuperDave. I didn't expect to be in this forum again and I am, years later - and you accelerated my recovery last time and here you are doing it again. You are just an absolutely amazing bloke and I HOPE that things have turned out well for you. You really really deserve it. I read these threads again and again when I'm scared of what's going to happen tomorrow. You are the epitome of human kindness. Thank you Dave. (Think about it! etc) Link to comment
spazmy Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 wow, Superdave, am seeing you after six years! You are still going strong I see. You know the strange thing about these web-pages is the way we all never meet each other. I probably will never know your name or who you are in real life -- but will remember you as Superdave 71.
